There is something comforting about a Teddy Bear!
Thursday, February 17, 2011 at 02:07AM We have just finished the New Zealand Leg of the tour and we are back in Australia, Melbourne in fact. We are looking out to the lights of the city, where a world is moving fast but in this room, the time has stood still. What a joy it is to be in one place for the next few days. Being away is hard but I am so thankful and grateful that Holly is able to travel with me. She looked at me and just took over and took care of everything. I was told not to work, just relax… and here I am blogging!!! Tut tut.
However when we arrived we went up to the lounge and a lovely Scottish woman gave us a Teddy Bear… and it just reminded me of the simple things in life that make everything okay. The simple life is something that many of us crave for, me included, and having Holly around has certainly made my life a lot less chaotic… The things that make me happy, is knowing that I have the support of Holly in everything that I do, hearing Charlie's laugh, having my friends and family to laugh with, crawling into bed to watch a movie and snuggle and knowing that I am loved by someone very special in my life. These are the simple things that make my life complete.
Everyone is different, we all have different needs, and wants and desires. But when it comes down to basic needs, we all just need to be loved. But we have to love too. We get what we give out and that is what we have to remember as I have said many times before.
So when you are rushing around from place to place, working against the clock, take a moment just to reflect on what it is that makes you happy. What simple thing can you do for yourself or someone else to make everything okay!
Sending love around the world from Holly and I

Very nice blog, Lisa and I am so glad u have Holly to lean on and be with you. It's always so nice to be able to depend on someone else every now and then and one who takes charge. Makes our lives a bit more relaxed that way.
That was very sweet of the lady to give u the teddy bear, unexpected gifts and the smallest of gestures really do mean so much. It's the LITTLE things in life that mean the most to us.
Enjoy the rest of your tour and I am always glad to hear you are enjoying yourself and taking time for YOU.
Lots of LOVE to you and Holly. xoxoxoxooxx
Hi Lisa,
I enjoy reading your blogs as they are so true.. I hope you enjoy Melbourne again and if you get time go and do some retail therapy as we all need that once in awhile too... Looking forward to seeing you in Geelong from one of the Witchywoo crew. Watching you do your thing is awesome...I am so glad Holly and yourself are on the mend too...
The simple things in life make you realize how precious life is and to enjoy every moment that happens..
Love and Light to you, Holly and Charlie...

Hi Lisa & Holly! Two of my fav. people..
It's so entertaining and supporting to read your words. I have thousands of thoughts and physical issues these days, so I find big comfort in reading your words. And about the Teddy Bear, I LOVE them really love them. Not only bears, but fluffy animaltoys. Their tenderness and silence and the look in their eyes. It's awesome. Just like you and Holly and The Swedish Medium Lena Ranehags, and what I see in your eyes. I find supportness, comfort, love and tenderness. I kind of feel some spiritual relativness in you as well.
Keep up. Take care and give Holly a big hug from me.
Love to you Lisa xx
Thank you for sharing.
Have fun in Melbourne :) It's a great place... one of my favourite places! ALMOST as good as Perth ;) hahaha cya in a week or so!!!

Lisa you are one AMAZING lady! <3 Your inner to outer beauty strikes me completely. You are doing a fantastic job. Love from Tina:)
Lisa, every time I read your blogs, I am brought back to the real world and feel like you have centered me once again. Thank you for these messages and do take sometime for yourself and Holly to enjoy the beauty that Melbourne has to offer. Looking forward to your show tonight.
Love from MaryAnn
Hi Lisa and Holly,
I LOVED this blog because I feel like you were talking to me lol. I am still healing but working a lot to catch up and very happy about that but the blog was a great reminder to try and keep it simple when I am not doing readings. Miss and love you both sooo much!
Thanks for your blogs Lisa. I love reading them. I was wondering if you are still doing the messages from beyond here on your site. I saw the last one was November 2010 so I thought maybe something had changed.
Am I missing something here? Are Lisa and Holly an item? When did this happen? Or am I reading too much into the last blog posting.
Sending much love back to you and Holly..... Life is void without Love....
Lisa,
You always have a way of keeping up beat and on the brighter side of things... thanks for keeping me there too!!!
HUGS,
Vicki
Thanks for your blog Lisa
Going through a crisis of my own these days and reading your words makes me feel just a little bit better about my situation. Being loved is such a special gift and I'm so happy to have that....... xox nicole
As always, I am touched by your words. Thanks for reminding me of the important things in life. You're a breath of fresh air Miss LIsa. I'm off to hold my children... xxx
ps....looking forward to having you here in Brisbane very soon. xxx
Hi Lisa & Holly
Sad to know that you are no longer in NZ but just know you will be back again soon. Your blogs are a wonderful reminder of what is important to us all, so thanks so much for them. Have a great time in Aus, and hopefully enjoy our neighbour as much as you enjoyed NZ. Love Shirley xx
Hi Lisa....
I"m glad you are enjoying your trip, and your time there... I know everything is going fantastic.... I hope you will be coming back to the United States soon, so that everyone can see you here again... I don't know when your birthday is, but I was wondering if you have a birthday coming up? I can't seem to remember when it is, although it's probably on the Blog somewhere...
With Christmas, New Year's, and Valentine's Day, and with all the trips that you are on, and with all the shows you are doing, I know you are very busy and that you are concentrating on all that plus your new relationship with Holly which you really deserve, and I know that your commitments to family and friends really keep you busy also.... you are on a Whirlwind Tour, So I hope that you will continue your Messages from Beyond when you get a chance to do that....I know you have a lot to take in day to day... Take care.. Mary P

Thank you Lisa for reading me tonight at the Regent Theatre, Melbourne.
It's my favorite theatre, you can feel it's energy. You mentioned tonight that you loved Melbourne, I'm proud of my town and feel honored that you enjoy her too.
Tonight was my 1st visit to your show. I have always watched beyond on W channel as does my good friend Kat so when I saw your tour dates announced I jumped on the net and booked tickets for both of us. My whole (ignorant) intention was for Kat to recieve a reading. She has been through so much over the long years, she is mearly existing through depression and grief. I felt guilty yet thrilled that i was your 1st reading of the night. I prayed all week that Kat would get a message but I guess the spirits have their own plans.
We had a wonderful night thanks to you, I'm just so happy Kat got out of the house. I hindsight I'm not sure she would have been strong enough to recieve a reading in public anyway.
I wish you all the love and respect you deserve and will always be eternally grateful for the gift you so lovingly share.
Best of luck with your new book, so happy for you. I will be facebooking all about it.
I cannot thank you enough Lisa, the word thank you does not seem to be enough for the gratitude I feel.
Hugs all round,
Jodie.

Thank you Lisa, it is so true again... I am really happy that you found love with Holly, it is wonderful ;-)
You're right, we all have different needs but we all need love.
I often complain with my friends about being single and not finding the right guy... actually I've started wondering about what I want. Sometimes being alone is good, however I have been alone enough now ;-) but I sometimes wonder if I haven't closed myself to love... since knowing that it can be so painful...unconsciously I may have shut myself up to love..
So... I'm trying to open and it's not an easy job..
I send you and Holly much love and light,
Lise
Bonjour Lisa,
Have a great day! Je vous regarde à la télévision et je suis fascinée par ce que vous dites et ce que vous êtes. On voit que les gens vous font confiance parce qu'ils ont besoin de vous. Vous m'épatez parce que je vous sens crédible et dans ce monde de tricherie, il est important de se retrouver avec des personnes qui ne sont pas là pour profiter de la crédulité et de la vulnérabilité des gens. Je ne sais si j'aurai la chance un jour de vous rencontrer mais je vous souhaite beaucoup de bonheur.
Thank you {{{so much}}} for my reading last night... (Melbourne)
I've waited 29 years to hear from my husband and there he was surfboard and all.
I'd been so sad for so long but now my whole being feels lighter!!
Lisa I'll never forget what you have done for me and will forever be grateful
You are an amazing woman xox
Hello Lisa,
I was there at your show last night in Melbourne (please come back soon) and I saw what an amazing ability you have. Thank you for your words - even though you never spoke to me specifically I came away with something meaningful. I'm pleased for Lynda who left the previous comment - how fortunate she is to have heard from her soul mate after all these years. Congratulations!
Can't wait to see you in Michigan again!!!
